Jennifer Garner: What did she see in Ben Affleck?

[Anonymous]

Jen G has shoes ugly enough to grant her honorary Beauty and Fashion, DCUM status

He stayed with her while she was filming Elektra despite not being in the movie. They were together by that point.

Exactly. That’s when he noticed her.
Jennifer lopez is beautiful ( although a couple of the more recent candid shots I’ve seen do show that she is a mere mortal)
But so is Jennifer Garner. It seemed obvious that he was going after the beautiful girl next door, that you marry.
Jlo is the exciting ex that you don’t settle down with.

I always suspected he has a Madonna/wh*re complex. His dating history is basically proof of that.

+1 Typical Irish Catholic boy.

Yes, and they always marry the Jennifer Garner type, but, unlike Ben, they rarely divorce her.

Basically this. People forget Ben was like her second or third husband. She wanted Celebrity power couple status at the time Ben was one of the most eligible bachelors.

Why is she perceived as a good girl?

No one is perfect. She acts, looks, and dresses in a wholesome manner; and she spends lots of quality time with her kids. Now that she has children, she doesn't act like a teenager. She doesn't bring multiple men into her kids' lives or stay away from them and shack up with ex boyfriends.

Yes, you have repeatedly and in different threads posted about your petty hate for Jennifer Lopez, who had her kids in wedlock and didn’t stay married to someone who repeatedly and openly banged other women during their marriage. Of course, Lopez also didn’t parade her kids in front of every paparazzo in SoCal for a solid decade so, yeah good mom prize goes to Garner!

PP here. First of all, I don't hate Jennifer Lopez. I think she's beautiful, talented, and has accomplished a great deal. Secondly, I didn't mention her name.

Please. Don’t throw rocks and hide your hand. The good girl acted hood AF and as page 1 pp put it, baby trapped an addict bad-boy star she’d never have really landed. That’s what she saw in him, apparently - worlds greatest dad, to answer the original question.

Affleck 100% pursued Garner. They both have said as much. I don't know why you think she wouldn't have "landed" him.

Look at the way she’s grinning at him. This was when she was still with Scott Foley and Ben was running full page ads in Variety Magazine praising Jennifer Lopez. He wasn’t even thinking about Jen G. but she definitely had her sights set on Ben despite whatever story they tell

+1 Jen Garner is the faux good girl of the decade.

That picture is why she is considered a wholesome good girl. If you don’t get it, you don’t get it.
Ben got it.
I’m sure she seemed like a refreshing breeze after the chaos and crazy of his relationship with JLo.
I’ve had many friends work with both women.
One of them is easy going and kind.
The other is demanding and unpleasant.
Guess which is which?

Oh an insider AND a poet!

Ted Casablancas, former gossip dude, called Jen G as remorselessly fake. But do go on with what you know, lolz.

The last film I worked on was nominated for best picture. So yes. I’m pretty “inside”.
Ted Casablancas is as transactional as they come. I can’t imagine he can recognize authentic kindness anymore.
It’s sad.

well, from some interactions people I know have had with JLo, she is NOT the nice one.

[Anonymous]

She left Foley for MICHAEL VARTAN who she left for AFFLECK

come on get your order of husbands / other people's fiancees correct

But they definitely cheat on them.

Why is JLO such a diva? What motivates her to be mean? I don't get it. Like, why even bother? She peaked 20 years ago and her love life is a hot train wreck. She can't really sing, she can't really act, and she can't really dance. She's a medium talent.

You have zero credibility on an anon site, particularly as you flog silly Becky lies about good girl Garner. Bye bye.

I’m the poster who works in the industry from upthread.
I don’t understand Jlo to be “mean”. I agree she is a medium talent, but she is absolutely a star and an exceptional beauty.
There are things I admire about her. When she hit the scene, she wasn’t the standard of beauty. She changed the game through sheer force of will. Kim Kardashin should send her a fresh thank you bouquet every week.
That said I don’t care for stars that can’t make it to set on time ( hours late) and then snap at directors and crew when they are made to wait for necessary lighting changes etc. All because you can be demanding doesn’t mean you should behave that way. She’s surrounded by a circle of people encouraging that.
Of course a woman who has been in the business for decades is going to have to be a little demanding. It’s that or the machinery eats you alive. They have to self advocate. I write all of this understanding that men don’t ever face the same level of criticism.
